- aulsmith : Doesn't meet my definition of historical fiction.sturlington : Took place during the author's lifetime and based partly on his experiences.elkiedee: Historical fiction is set in the past but it can be a period within the author's lifetime - the past can look very different from 25 or 40 years later. I hope no one who argues this isn't a historical novel believes that either Possession or The Daughter of Time, both above this in the list, are historical fiction. They are brilliant novels which I would recommend to fans of historical fiction but they are both contemporary novels with significant interest for historical fiction readers.leslie.98 : Not historical fiction
